What to do after importing it: Change IP address from 192.168.3.140 to the IP address of your device.
Also do not forget to set settings of device like this:

And last but also important, do not forget to set up output input_boolean sensor:

input_boolean:
    input_boolean_kc_relay_output_1:
      name: KC Izhod 1

and so forward from 1 to 8 for every output…

For any other questions please ask user @KinCony.

Play safe :wink:

Thank you…

Can you check what is the latest firmware for this motherboard (my is 1.598) so that I update it in case that there is any major stability improvements…

your controller not need to update fireware.

OK. What is exactly the last firmware?
PS. Is there any download center where we can download FW or check for newer versions.

Thank you…

Also, one question @KinCony regarding future developement.

Will be there any firmware (and when aprox.) update which will bring on MQTT protocol, so that device could send MQTT to MQTT broker/server so that we do not need to constantly read input.
Because, currently we have problem regarding input that we need to read input every some seconds, but even that this is not OK in case of using key button which has very short ON trigger signal…

Thank you for answers…
